据气体世界8月26日报道，日本三菱重工集团旗下的三菱造船公司将与法国道达尔能源公司合作，对液化二氧化碳(LCO2)运输船进行可行性研究，从而开发旨在减少油气行业二氧化碳(CO2)排放的技术。
由于各油气公司向净零排放迈进，三菱重工集团也在努力打造一个二氧化碳生态系统，为实现脱碳社会做出贡献。 由于LCO2运输船在将捕获的二氧化碳运输到储存地点或设施方面发挥着重要作用，LCO2运输船的需求将会增加。
道达尔能源公司负责CCUS的副总裁Bruno Seilhan谈到这个合作伙伴关时说：“我们很高兴与三菱重工集团合作，因为三菱重工集团在造船方面的专业知识得到了很好的证明，以便研究大吨位液化二氧化碳运输船的机会。”
他补充说，这些船舶的生产与其到2050年前实现净零排放的气候雄心高度一致。
三菱重工集团正试图通过结合集团公司的知识和技术，如液化石油气(LPG)运输船、液化天然气运输船和二氧化碳捕获，为碳捕获和储存(CCS)价值链的建设做出贡献。
三菱造船公司总裁Toru Kitamura在评论该项目对未来零碳排放的贡献时说：“我们相信LCO2运输船是实现世界脱碳的有效解决方案。 我们将继续与合作伙伴积极开展技术开发，寻求使用LCO2载体实现脱碳，目的是为CCUS价值链形成市场。”

Mitsubishi Shipbuilding and TotalEnergies study liquefied CO2 carrier
Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, will develop technologies intended to reduce the volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission in the oil and gas industry by partnering with TotalEnergies to conduct a feasibility study into a liquefied CO2 (LCO2) carrier.
As companies push towards net zero, MHI Group is pursuing a CO2 ecosystem to contribute to a decarbonised society. With LCO2 carriers playing an important role in transporting captured CO2 to storage sites or facilities, demand is set to increase.
Bruno Seilhan, Vice President CCUS, TotalEnergies, spoke of the partnership, saying, “We are pleased to partner with Mitsubishi, whose expertise in shipbuilding is well proven, in order to study large tonnage liquid CO2 carrier opportunities.”
He added that the production of the vessels is heavily aligned with its Climate Ambition to obtain net zero emissions by 2050.
MHI is attempting to contribute to the construction of the carbon capture and storage (CCS) value chain by combining the knowledge of the Group’s companies and technologies, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers, LNG carriers, and CO2 capture.
Commenting on the operation contributing to a net zero future, Toru Kitamura, President, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding, said, “We believe that LCO2 carriers are an effective solution for achieving a decarbonised world. We will continue to actively pursue technology development in cooperation with partners seeking to achieve decarbonisation using LCO2 carriers, with the aim of market formation for the CCUS value chain.”
